1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to examine postural stability changes in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 infection. Methods: Fifty patients who recovered from the COVID-19 infection and 50 healthy controls were compared using the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), a modified clinical test of sensory interaction balance (mCTSIB), limits of stability (LOS), rhythmic weight shift (RWS), and Romberg and fall risk (FR) tests. Results: Regarding mCTSIB, regardless of gender patients, female patients, or male patients, there were no significant differences from controls ( Conclusion: Studies in which the effects of COVID-19 infection sequels have been evaluated on the vestibular system in the literature are subjective. The main concern is the prevalence of dizziness or vertigo in subjective studies. There may be a decrease in postural reflexes in female individuals who recovered from the COVID-19 infection in this study, thanks to the objective test measurement. Increased oscillations with eyes closed on regular ground and soft ground in the Romberg test may likely indicate vestibular problems.
